or even a fortnight. The late Mr. Weodfall, who took hie station regularly behind the dock in the gallery o f the late House of Commons, used to dole out a debate, day by day, for the above space. This system was put an end to by the ?ate Mr. Perry, who first, by the aid ofnumbers, gave a report of a whole debate next morning ; and step by step, in little more than one generation, papers that have attained their present formidable magnitude. As, however, the power ofindividuals to read and apprehend remains what it was, it is difficult to conceive how newspapers can be made wore ample with any hope of being read, otherwise we lave no doubt that in time we should have a folio's matter regularly laid on the breakfast table.—Morning Chronicle. The recent triumph of steam conveyance, either by ship- ping or by railroad, constitutes one of the most extraordi nary signs of the times. The late arrival of the Great • Western and its compeer the Sirius from America is itself sufficient to create an era in the annals of human pro gress. We do not wonder at the excitement caused both in America and in this country, but more especially in New York, by the successful result of this memorable ex periment. Before this event the navigation of the At lantic by steam vessels had been regarded as little beyond the solution of an interesting experiment. But since the establishment of the fact by the reciprocal arrival of the above steam vessels at Liverpool and at New York with perfect regularity and safety, and in greatly-diminished in tervals of time, more enlarged views have been taken of the present practical results and of the future conjec tural advantages of that social intercommunication - which the event lays open. It is indeed not to be considered as a trifling advantage or mean achieve ment—even looking at it in this narrow point of view— that the result establishes the certainty of a speedy and regular intercourse between England and the United States. A rapid passage for the traveller, or a quick reply from a corresponde n t, are a d vantages not to b e di sva l ued. Again, the possibility of passing the Atlantic by steamers • has been doubted and denied even by first-rape scientific men. This new proof, therefore, of the triumphant appli ton of modern science is itself no trifling achievement over prejudice, difficulty, and disraluation. These conquests over the elements lead to other conquests, stimulate to other exertions, and open illimitable vistas in the march of scien tific discovery. But even these minor results are nothing to the national advantages which will accrue to the country from the establi s h men t o f t hi s new mo d e o f commerc i a l transit, which imparts certainty to the most uncertain of things—the winds and the tides. It has been ingeniously said, that it will be "something new under the sun" for an American merchant, on landing from one of the fast-sailing steamers now plying between New York and Liverpool, to be able to step into a railway steam-carriage (as soon as the Grand Junction Railway is completed in May next), and in less than half a month from the time he left New York to address a letter to his wife or partner from the great metropolitan focus of British and European commerce—imperial London. It will be "something new" for an American passenger in fourteen days to arrive at Liverpool, a period which has been spent in stormy weather in mere coasting voyages in England (and we have indeed known three or four days consumed in going to Margate or Ramsgate) ; then to draw on his nightcap, if he please to retire to rest in one of the splendid sleeping berths on the railroad, and in nine or ten hours thereafter to re-open his eyes to the light of day within hearing of the great bell of St. Paul's. Formerly nearly two days were consumed by the communication by coach or mail. But these, as we have said, are not the sole advantages which the event lays open to the cheering view of the great community of men. The most important effects may be said to be of a strictly commercial character. The practical employment of steam-vessels, thus successfully tested on the Atlantic, opens a new and gratifying prospect to the whole commer cial body in this country. We refer chiefly to the convey ance of raw materials from America for the British manu factures, and of the manufactured produce in return, through the instrumentality of British skill, industry, and capital. This encouragement to our manufacturers, and increased profit on their capitals, will be among these advantages. Some idea may be formed of the immense capital employed in mercantile transactions between the two countries, when it is intimated that the official value of our imports and ex ports with America exceeds twenty millions per annum. In order fairly to estimate this new mode of transit, we must assume that the dispatch and certainty identified with the employment of steam instead of sailing vessels will ad mit of the same extent of mercantile transactions being carried on with a diminution of one-third of the ca pital now requisite for the purpose. Larger profits would, therefore, be produced in proportion to the amount of capital invested in the American trade, or (which is more probable) there will be a reduction of profit, and an increase of consumption —a result which will be equally for the benefit of the British manufacturer and for the British public. The chief gain, however, derivable from the im portant change now in operation will be felt in the British shipping and carrying trade, which latter has been hitherto greatly in favour of the Americans, in consequence of the superior facilities for outfit and structure of sailing vessels in America. Our shipowners have hitherto been unable to compete with the American lines of packets. In conse quence of this an enormous quantity of raw produce for our manufactories, and of our manufactured goods for America, were hitherto shipped by preference in American tonnage. Now, however, the balance of advantage will be in our favour. England with means infinitely more comprehen sive, and with resources for the building and equipment of steam-vessels unequalled by any other country, can now un dersell America in so large a proportion as to turn the tables entirely in our favour. It is impossible to calculate all the advantages derivable from the use of British capital in a mode so congenial to a maritime nation. First, with regard to commercial profits the gain will be enormous— the receipts for freightage (considerable as they must be) will be transferred to our side of the account. But this is not all. New and necessary encouragement will be given to our shipbuilders, engineers, and manufacturers. Even yet the climax of advantage is not complete, unless we consider the now successful steam navigation of the Atlan tic as a means of creating additional demand for the ser vices of British seamen, and of extending our mercantile preponderance at sea, and consequently of our armed force as a naval power. These, indeed, arc results which must be hailed with high exultation by every real friend of his country, and as the most important extension in modern times of social intercourse by every real statesman and every sincere philanthropist, who would increase the social comforts, improve the moral feelings, and elevate the intellectual faculties of the human species. —Morning Advertiser. Whether the Government be right or wrong in the proposed Act of Parliament for the giving to the Post office certain rights of conveyance upon railways, inde pendently of the terms fixed upon the proprietors of these new ways, the attempt may be of use in teaching those who refuse otherwise to be taught, the hardship of a parliamentary invasion upon that which they con sider the right of property. For some years past that part of the community most concerned in the interests of money capital have shown very little concern for that which, when its invasion touches themselves, they call the " sacred right of property." They have encou raged and themselves acted upon, a general notion that so prop,: rty save individual property was to be held without the pale of parliamentary interference. We do not know, indeed, that they have ever gone so far as to argue that a mere plurality of possession afforded a ground for inteif rence, but they have practically as well as theoretically shown, that when masses or classes, or corporate bodies were concerned, they thought the interftrence of Parliament n ith property perfectly justi field,. They did not even take the precaution of defining, at the time of passing the Bills to which we refer, any limit to the power of Parliament in this respect. They merely shared in the exercise of the power, and seemed to think that confiscation by Act of Parliament was very good sport. If they now begin to feel the inconvenience of having intro duced this practice, they insist not be surprised if many who have been witnesses of their own conduct upon former occasions should be able to afford them but little sympathy. Upon an abstract consideration of the question, it is cer tainly difficult to conceive that the unperniitted inter ference with the property, or with the rights of a very tnehlerable number of persons, should be less an act of violence than if only one person were concerned. The ' abstract right appears to be the same, whether by the liw it inhere in a class, or in an individual. Bat eetien legislators abandon principles of abstract right, as antiquated erejudices, and deem themselves at liberty to act upcn their own notions of what is expedient for the public, under present circumstances, without regard to the established rights and property of a particular class of that public, then they can with but very little, conis tency complain, if their own method be pursued a little further than they intended, and thus wound themselves. We are far froea saying that it is well that this reckless sys tem of Parliareentary interference with property should proceed—we rejeice rather flea something has occurred to show to those who probably could not he otherwise, cen eieced of it, the injustice and the danger of such proceed ing —but we %side to Lint to those who now complain most loudly, that ina:muels as they showed little regard to the complaiete of others, their own claim to be thereby dimi nished. If the arbitrary interference of Parliament with the rights of property were justifiable at all, it would, no doubt, be most justifiable with respect to such rights as Parliament itself has only just created oc sanctioned. If such interference be in any case reasonahle (which we do not admit) it is when the Act of Parliament of to day modifies, or infringes upon, the rights which were con ferred by an Act of Parliament of yesterday. According to the modern views of legislators in the Lower House of Parliament, it might be almost supposed that they thought the newness of any right gave it especial claims to inviola bility. These are the views of mere selfishness. Nature aha common sense teach that the older a right is, and the longer a particular class have been habituated to it, the greater is the cruelty, and the severer is the practical wrong of interfering with it. We would, therefore, have those persons who are so greatly shocked at the attempt of Government to make Parliament interfere with some of the rights of Companies acquired under private Acts, which are but a year or two in existence—we would have them remember how little reluctance they showed to interfere with the property of the Church and the rights of the destitute poor, both of which had been in existence for centuries. They would not listen to any doubt of the perfect reasonableness, as well as power of the Parliament, to interfere in these cases. But what is there so sacred in the rights of a certain number of joint stock proprietors, existing in virtue of an Act of Parlia ment of last year, beyond the rights of the whole body of the Clergy, or the whole body of those who do belong, or may belong, to the class of the destitute poor. It is idle to pretend that the joint-stock Companies (except it be upon the ground of mere expediency) have any superior right ; and, if mere expediency is to be admitted, it is idle to speak of the rights of property at all. It is time for the Legis lature to learn that there is no medium between the protec tion of rights, and the abandonment of liberty. If this protection is made to depend on temporary views of expe diency, affairs will soon be pushed to that extreme in which everything is subject to the fleeting will of the majority, or to a despot, who will give security in exchange for the free dom he has taken away.—Morning Herald. CANADIAN AFFAIRS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRZSPO , DISNT.) New York, June 8, 1838. In my last I sent you intelligence of the burning of the steam.-boat, Sir Robert Peel, off French Creek. The boat was boarded on her upward passage from Prescott to Kingston, while taking in wood at Well's Island, in the neighbourhood of French Creek, ar.d after the crew and passengers were put ashore she was set on fire and burnt. The whole blame of this outrage is thrown by the Americans on Canadian re fugees. This is done, I presume, to save their own national character ; but it could not have been done by Canadian re fugees if they had not friends among the Americans to aid them in carrying their plans out. That they bad friends both rich and powerful I have no doubt ; however it now answers a gocd American purpose to throw the blame on the Canadians. Thirteen persons have been arrested by the American au thorities as having been engaged in this affair—two only of them are Americans. It is said there were some 15,0001. on board in specie, which was plundered ; some 6,000 dollars, it is said, have been found on a Canadian refugee, named Scorn law, who, it is added, was the leader ; yet, strange to say, he was admitted to bail on security to the amount of five hundred dollars. The excitement caused by this affair is not yet over. Those who committed it were regularly organized : their watchword was " the Caroline," and they called each other by assumed names—Sir William Wallace, Judge Lynch, Bolivar, Tecom seh, Colonel Crockett, and so forth. If the act was com mitted by refugees, there is much to palliate their conduct. Many, it should be remembered, were comfortable in the bosom of their families when they were hunted out of house and home by the authorities—their property handed over to their enemies, their friends imprisoned, and exposed to every de scription of persecution. It is not to be wondered at that in their despair they have forgotten the bounds laid down by the law. The excitement on this side, however, was greatly exceeded by the feeling on the Canadian frontier, lest it should be fol lowed by attacks upon property on that side ; and guards were stationed on the wharfs at Toronto, Kingston, and the several landing places on the lakes. " The rebels have again mus tered," says a letter from Toronto, dated May 28, and pub lished in the Quebec Mercury, " for the purpose of destroying the Welland Canal—setting it on fire, I suppose —the militia, black and white, are called out at Niagara ; the 24th Regi ment is doing duty in the streets of Toronto, and things look squally." So squally indeed did they look, that Sir George Arthur considered it necessary to issue a proclamation, recom mending the Upper Canadians not to retaliate. They did not, however, take his advice, for yesterday intelligence was received here that an American steamer was fired into by the militia or volunteers, from the wharf at Brockville. The particulars are as follow : The American steamboat Telegraph left Oswego on Friday evening, June 1, at six P. NI., touched at Prescott, and arrived between nine and ten that night at Brockville, N. C. Here she took in and landed passengers and freight, and the Cap tain was surprised to find a mob come on board and ransack the cabin. His suspicion being excited he moved off with all speed, but had not gone far when he was hailed to bring to. Supposing it to be for more passengers, he dropped astern to within 20 feet of the dock, and sent his small boat for the sup. posed passengers. He was called to come alongside with the steamer, but he refused, whereupon about 20 musket shots were discharged by the guard on the wharf into the boat. Four of the belle entered into the ladies' cabin ; one passed close to the chambermaid, and two struck the boat close to the Cap tain. To avoid a repetition of the outrage, the Captain set on all the steam he could, and proceeded on his voyage. The Captain of the Brockville Guard says they fired merely as a warning to suspicious vessels. If so, why were the mus kets loaded with ball, or why so directed ? In consequence of this unjustifiable outrage, both sides of the frontier are thrown into a regular flame, to add to which the commanding officer of Kingston has been heard to threaten that the next outrage would be the signal for his landing in the United States in a hostile attitude, for, said he, " the Canadians are able to take the Republic without any aid from England." I hope he will put his threat in execution—were it for no other purpose than to see if these Canadians are so bravo and so loyal as they pretend. In consequence of these proceedings, Sir John Colborne has, I believe, set out from Quebec for Upper Canada, a ith his Staff, to assume the command of the forces in that pro. wince, which step is looked upon here as somewhat serious. Armed schooners, too, are, it is said, about to be placed on the Lakes, as a protection to the British trade. A messenger passed through here to-day with dispatches from Lord Durham for Washington. A few days therefore will show what course the United States Government will take in the matter. For my own part, lam of opinion that this continent is getting too small for Democracy and Aris tocracy, and that one of them must move off. The papers in this State are beginning to look upon war as inevitable. Van Buren is ill prepared for such a war ; he commands but a small majority in the Congress, yet I believe a war would be popular, and I am inclined to think that great sacrifices would be made both by Whig and Democrats when once it became a question of national honour, as it will soon be, if the Ameri can flag continues to be insulted; for in this the Americans closely resemble John Bull—they will spend millions of dol lars, and involve half the world in the miseries of war, to punish the insult of their flag. Lord Durham, as you are aware, arrived in Quebec on the 27th ultimo. We have dates here of the 4th of June, from Montreal, and from Quebec to the 2d. To judge from the papers, Lord Durham is certainly using considerable dispatch, and gives symptoms of a degree of vigour, which Canada has not witnessed for a long time. Immediately after he was sworn in, he called for the Attorney-General, but he was ab sent, to Lord Durham's great surprise. He then ordered that the names of the prisoners for political offences, and the affi davits on which the charges against them had been grounded, should he laid before him at nine o'clock, together, with a re turn of the number of days each was in jail. He also called for the affidavits against " those who had fled from justice," and the names of all absentees under accusation. On assuming office he issued a proclamation "to the people of British Ame rica," in the course of which he promised to give his assistance and encouragement to the Constitutional supporters of Reform, and to those who, through a spirit of patriotism, wish to im prove defective institutions, whilst he should exercise all the powers, civil and military, his office invested him with against the disturbers of the peace, the violators of the law, and the enemies of the Crown. You will see in the course of your reading this proclamation what the last part of the paragraph Tin ans. lamat a loss to tell, for it is capable of two con structions. His Excellency's next step was to cause Mr. Buller, his Secretary, to address a circular letter dated 3lst of May to each of the executive Councillors, informing them that their services were dispensed with for the present—" His ExCel lency deeming it essential for the object of his mission, that during the temporary suspension of the Constitution he should be completely independent and unconnected with all parties in the province." He, at the same tine, had his Commission printed in the papers, giving him, among ether things, "power to enquire into and to adjust. as far as possible, all questions pending in the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada." On the following day, June I, his Lot dsbip issued a notice diss * olving Sir John's Council. Thus far all must admit that his Lordship hat shown much energy, and that of a praiseworthy character. In sending the Exe cutive Council about their business be has got rid of a rookery of malevolent spirits, who would inevitably have wreked his Lordship's reputation; and having thus sepa 'rated himself from the official party publicly, it is to be hoped he will guard himself from their private influence. By dis solving Colborne's rabid Tory Council he has created a hope that the abominable ordinances of that body, sanctioned and perhaps even suggested by that ignorant soldier, will be ex punged. The appointment of Buller and Turton has excited the in dignation of the Tories in Canada. The London corres pondent of the Montreal Herald stated that these nominations excited the rnr,st " unqualiLd di:-grit" in London. Taking the cue from tLis, which, as you are aware, emanates from the Gould clique (British American Land Company and other moss poly influences) is London. and from the merchant Moffat, who arrived in tine Ist of May packet. the Montreal Herald of the 4th contvins a violent phillipic against Turton, who, with Buller, has Leen Gazetted as Secretary to the Go vernment. The circumstances connected with Turton's divorce afford them a fine opportunity of annoying both the individual and the Government. They ha p upon the subject with all the bitterness of which all they are capable, and I doubt not hut that their rage will hurry tin'm into greater violence, and bring about an open rupture between themselves and the Chsteae. This may possibly eventuate in good to the poor ill-treated Canadians. I have received since I last wrote some direct intelligence from our friends in the jails in Canada. Dr. Lionnais has died. Ile was arrested in November on a doubtful charge, n d expired on the 25th of kril. The long confinement brolte him down, and thus: another victim of British oppression has been added to the list. The other prisoners are stouter THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1838. in heat than ever ; many of them will insist on a trial. which I apprehend will be refused them, as most of the charges are 7.-holly untenable. I see Ba lgeley has been presented to the Queen !! Well, miracles will never cease; but will it Fit a brief into his bag on his return to Canada?—hitherto that bag has been as empty as the owner's head. ARRIVAL OF THE EARL OF DURHAM. (Fr ,rn the Quebec Mercury.) On Sunday forenoon the telegraph displayed the signal for a line-of-battle ship within sight of the lower station, and about noon her lofty canvass was seen towering above Point Levy with signals flying from the mast head, from which it was speedily ascertained that the noble vessel was lu.r Majesty's ship Hastings, kving on board the Earl of Durham, Go vernor-General, Vice- Admiral, and Captain-General of all her Majesty's provinces within and adjacent to the continent of North America, with his family and suite. The wind blew fresh from the East, and the Hastings stood on under easy sail till she atrive.l nearly opposite the Queen's Wharf, where she let go her anenor. The fine band of the 7lst Light Infantry Rae upon the quarter deck, and, es the ship passed the town, played the Air of " Rule Bri ta,nia" with powerful effect. The glacis of the citadel, garden walk, and grand battery, were crowded with spec tators, expecting that the Noble Earl would immediately dis embark. It was, however, soon made public that his Lord ship would not come on shore till Monday at two o'clock, and orders were issued to receive the Governor-General with all honours due to his rank. The appearance of the weather yesterday, about noun, indicated an afternoon of heavy rain, and the disembarkation was postponed till this day at the same hour. . " His Excellency having determined on disembarking this day, the military preparations wera accordingly made, and a little after one o'clock the two battalions of Guards posted a Captain's guard of honour at the wharf, and a second at the Castle of St. Lewis, the streets being lined by the remainder of the battalions from the landing. place to the Castle. Shortly before two o'clock his Lordship left the Hastings, which was dressed in her colours, and fired a salute as the barge pulled from the ship. The yards of the ilialabar, Inconstant, Pique, and Racehorse, arid of the surveying schooner Grilnare, were manned in com pliment to the Governor-General, who was received on the Queen's Wharf by h:s Excellency Sir John Colborne, Com mander of the Forces ; Sir James Macdonald, Commander of the Garrison; and the whole of the military staff and heads of departments. The Guard of Honour saluted as soon as the Governor-General set foot on shore, and a salute of - 19 guns were fired from the citadel. " His Lordship now mounted his horse, and, attended by the Lieutenant-General, the Major-General, and the numerous military cortrge proceeded to the Castle, the ladies following in an open carriage. " The Executive Council and the Officers of the Civil Go vernment were in attendance at the Castle, and his Lordship on alighting immediately proceeded to the Council Chamber, and took the oaths of office. The termination of this ceremony was announced by a second salute of 19 guns from the salut ing battery on the Cape. " His Excellency was dressed in military uniform with sil ver lace, and wore the collar of the Bath. He appeared in good health. He was loudly cheered dismounting and upon leaving the Castle. " The streets were thronged with spectators as were the wharves of the Lower Town, and the Place d'Armes, and the promenade between the Government Gardens." Immediately after taking the oaths, the following proclama tion was issued by his Excellency : " DURHAM. " By his Excellency the Right Hon. Joha George Earl of Durham, Viscount Lambton, &C. &c., Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Military Order of the Bath, one of her Majesty's Honourable Privy Council, and Governor-General, Vice-Admiral, and Captain- Ge neral of all her Majesty's Provinces within and adjacent to the continent of North America, &c. &c. &c. " A PROCLAMATION. The Queen having been graciously pleased to entrust to me the government of British North Arricrica, I have this day assumed the administration of affairs. In the execution of this important duty I rely with confi dence on the cordial support of all her Majesty's sub jects as the best means of enabling me to bring every ques tion affecting their welfare to a successful issue, especially such as may come under my cognizance as her Majesty's High Commissioner. The honest and conscientious advocates of Reform and of the amelioration of defective institutions will receive from me, without distinction of party, races, or politics, that assistance and encouragement which their patriotism has a right to com mand from all who desire to perpetuate and consolidate the connection between the parent state and these important colonies ; but the disturbers of the public peace, the violaters of the law, the enemies of the Crown and of the British empire will find in me an uncompromising opponent, determined to put in force against them all the powers, civil and military, with which I have been invested. In one province the most deplorable events have rendered the suspension of its representative constitution unhappily a matter of necessity—and the supreme power has devolved on me. The great responsibility which is therefore imposed on me, and the arduous nature of the functions which I have to dis charge, will naturally make me most anxious to hasten the arrival of that period when the Executive power shall again be surrounded by all the constitutional checks of free, liberal, and British institutions. On you—the people of British America—on your conduct, and on the extent of your co-operation with me, will mainly depend whether that event shall be delayed or immediate. I therefore invite from you the most free, unreserved commu nications. I beg you to consider me as a friend and arbi trator, ready at all times to listen to your wishes, complaints, and grievances, and fully determined to act with the strictest impartiality. If you, on your side, will abjure all party and sectarian animosities, and unite with me in the blessed work of peace and harmony, I feel assured that I can lay the foundation of such a system of government as will protect the rights and interest of all classes, allay all dissensions, and permanently establish, under divine Providence, that wealth, greatness, and prosperity of which such inexhaustible elements are to be found in these fertile countries. _ _ Given under my hand and seal at arms, at the Castle of St. Lewis, in the city of Quebec, in the said province of Lower Canada, the 29th day of May, in the year of our Lord 1838, in the first year of her Majesty's reign. (By command) C. B UL LE R, Chief Secretary." The passage across the Atlantic was a most delightful one, and Lord Durham and family were in excellent health and spirits during the whole of its continuance. The total num ber of his Lordship's family, suite, and servants on board the llastings, is sixty-one. (From the Quebec Gazette.) The following circular was yesterday addressed by the Chief Secretary of his Excellency the Earl of Durham, to the different members of the Executive Council : " Castle of St. Lewis, Quebec, May 31, 1838. " Sir,—l am directed by his Excellency the Governor- General, to acquaint you that it is not his intention to con tinue the Executive Council according to its present composi tion, and that your services, therefore, will not be required for the present. " His Excellency has come to this determination not from any feeling of dissatisfaction with the. conduct of that coun cil or any of its members. On the contrary, his Excellency particularly directs me to express his high sense of your ser vices and his esteem and . respect for yourself personally. But his Excellency deems it essential for the objects of his mission that during the temporary suspension of the Constitu tion the administrator of affairs should be completely inde pendent of and unconnected with all parties and persons in the province. " Dissensions and animosities have naturally, during the course of the late unfortunate events, been carried to such an extent that the necessary abstraction from all party feeling cannot be expected from any who have been participators in the struggle on one side or the other. His Excellency believes that it is as much for the interest of yon all, as for the advantages of his own mission, that his administrative conduct should be free from all suspicions of political influence or party feeling ; that it should rest on his own undivided responsibility ; and that when he quits the pro vince, he should leave none of its permanent residents in any v.ay c:)mmitted by acts which his Government may have found it necessary to perform during the temporary suspension of the Constitution. NI , hen happily the time shall have come for the re-establishment of constitutional government, the diffe rent Powers composing it will return to their natural state, and be confided to those whose station in the province and personal character entitle them to the confidence of their Sovereign and their country. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, - (Signed) CHARLES BULLER, Jun., Chief See." (From the New York Daily Express of the Bth.) Letters from Quebec state that a reward of 4,000 dollars would be offered for the discovery and arrest of the pirates who destroyed the Sir Robert Peel. We understand that a hearer of the dispatches arrived in this city yesterday, on his way to Washington, having left Nlnntreal ,ince the date of our last papers, reports that Sir John Colborne, with his staff, has gone to take command of the forces in Upper Canada, a movement that seems to indicate apprehensions of something serious. ATTACK UPON BRITISH OFFICERS AT DETROIT. ( From the Sandwich Herald.) Colonel Hill, Captain Sparke, and Lieutenant Robinson, of the QUetnl . 3 Light Infantry, in full uniform, accompanied by Dr. Dawson, surgeon of the regiment, in plain clothes, went over to Detroit about noon, on Friday, and whilst walking through the streets were assailed repeatedly by the c:y of " Tory I Tory 1" from individuals, and also by disgusting and ahu.iive language, and were thrice pelted with .:tones, evs, and mud, of which they took not the slightest notice. On their a/rival at the wharf they found that the ferryboat had just left, and they accordingly had to wait its return, and therefore took another stroll through thc.. streets. On their return a second time to the wharf, Captain Sparke was struck tw ice with eggs, which broke on h back ; and'On his turning to cross the street to where Col. Hill and Lieut. Robinson were standing in a store at the corner of the street, opposite to the ferry wh ar f, a man p us h e d purposely against him, and struck his sword, which the man construed into an alTrunt from Captain Sparke. A mob of twenty or thirty scoundrels immediately collected, and closed round the officers, and used most disgusting, insulting, and brutal language, evidently with the view of provoking them to draw their swords, which, had they done, there is not the slightest doubt they would all have been murdered. The officers behaved with the greatest forbearance, and, at Colonel Hill's request, went quietly on board the ferry-boat; but in turning to do so, Captain Sparke was kicked by the cowardly rascal, who first pushed against him; sererel eggs were also thrown at the officers when on board of the boat, one of which passed close to the head of Miss Mason, sister to the Governor, who, with other ladies, and Captain Rowland, of the Brady Guards, came on board the boat as she was pushing off. Only one individual, a respectable-loaking person, standing in the store with the officers, attempted to interfere in their behalf, and repudiazed the conduct of his fellow citizens. He having seen the man wantonly push against Captain Sparke, expressed his opinion freely to that effect. Captain Grant, late of ; the Royal Cavalry of Sandwich, was present at the affray, and exerted himself very' handsamely in favour of the officers, and openly expressed his indignaton at the brutal conduct of the " free and enlightened citizens of the greatest republic in the world." Another officer, Lieut. Cameron, of the Queen's Light Infantry, who had been sent on th.:! 17th with dispatches to AmhertE,burg, on his return last Sunday morning in the steamer General Porter was grossly insulted and pelted with stones and mud whilst proceeding- on horseback from the landing to the ferry-beat. Lieutenant Cameron was in formed that the man who led the mob on Friday and Satur day was a fellow named Appleby, ci decant captain of the I piratical steam-boat Caroline, and now of the steam-boat I Constitution. THE QUEEN'S CORONATION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, JUNE 28.-At the early hour of six this morning, the loud roar of the artillery from the plat form of our venerable Castle, and the music of the merry bells gave notice that a day of festivity was at hand. Thursday having for a great many years been the grand day of attrac tion at our races (and this being the race-week), that circum stance, the weather being very favourable, no doubt has tended to augment the " Gathering," and to cause such an immense assemblage of people upon the race•ground as there was this afternoon, it being computed there were not less than 50,000 persons present. In addition to the gold cup usual on this day, there was the Victoria cup of 100 guineas value, presented chiefly by the Corporation. I should state, however, the observances of the morning with regard to the more immediate celebration of the day. At half-past ten the Right Worshipful the Mayor of Newcastle, Dr. S!eadlam, accompanied by the Recorder, the Sheriff, and a large pro portion of the Town Council attended divine service at St. Nicholas' Church. On retiring from Church, the muni cipal body repaired to the Council-Chambers, Guild Hall, where they voted a congratulatory address to her Majesty on this most auspicious day:— - - " We love The Queen who loves the law ; respects her bounds, And reigns contewt within them." Shortly before one o'clock the dismounted troop of the Newcastle and Northumberland Yeomanry Cavalry, com manded by Captain Loraine, marched down to the Sandbill, where the Magistracy and Town Council were assembled in front of the Exchange. Precisely at one a royal salute of 21 guns was fired from the Castle, the dismounted Cavalry firing an excellent feu de joie simultaneonsly, which added consider ably to the effect. When the firing ceased, the worthy Chief. magistrate (by whose order a plenteous supply of- wine was at hand), filled a bumper, and drank the health of the Queen, and a long and happy reign to her Majesty, in which he was cordially joined by the rest of the Magistracy and the Coun cil, and by several gentlemen who were assembled on the memorable occasion. In the evening a grand entertainment takes place at the Turk's Head Inn, under the presidency of the Mayor, who has with great liberality contributed to the efficiency of the cuisine, by presenting a copious supply of West India turtle ; and the champaigne, also, is to be a present from the same public-spirited gentleman. A grand ball at the Assembly rooms is to be the finale of the evening. The front of the Exchange, the facade of the Assembly-rooms, and the Turk's Head Hotel will be brilliantly illuminated to-night. MRS. GRAHAM'S BALLOON. ( From a Correspondent of a Morning Paper.) The writer had an interview with Mrs. Graham yesterday respecting the extraordinary descent of her balloon in Mary_ lebone-lane on Thursday, and the accidents attending it. The following is the substance of the account given by Mrs. Graham of the occurrence. Having been engaged by Go vernment to ascend from the Green-park, in commemoration of the coronation of the Queen, Mrs. Graham, accompanied by Captain Currie, who has been her companion in many previous balloon voyages, entered the car of the balloon at '2 o'clock on Thursday, and was soon two miles above the earth. At the time of the ascent, the sun shone powerfully on the balloon, and the gas it contained, which at other times would have been only two-thirds of the quantity it ought to hold, was so rarified, that it swelled out the whole surface of the balloon. The thermometer stood at 84 degrees when they rose, but soon fell to 63, and, as they still ascended, the cold had so much increased, that it fell to 53 degrees. Mrs. Graham felt the air so cold half an hour after they arose, that she was glad to wrap herself in a fur tippet. They endeavoured to get the balloon into another current, but though they had tried several strata of air in the hope of meeting another, they did not succeed in finding a steady breeze in any direc tion. The balloon then swept over a considerable range of the metropolis, twice describing an ellipsis in its course. They stood twice over Lambeth Palace, twice over Trafalgar-square, and twice over St. Paul's Cathedral. Hence many supposed that there were two balloons up. Hoping to rise higher still, they threw out their ballast in different directions and after some intervals; but the cold condensed the gas so, that the weight of the voyagers and the car and tackling became greater than the aseensive power of the balloon, and therefore they be gan to drag it downwards. In the mean time the balloon returned almost to the spot whence it had arisen, and when it was over Marylebone lane it sank so low that it touched the houses. Seeing then that it was impossible to reach any of the Parks, or any other open area, Mrs. Graham made arrangements for alighting in the street, and for this purpose she let fall a rope, one end of which was fastened to the balloon, calling out to those below to hold it. Tho dense crowd rushed forward eagerly, and in some cases involuntarily, and at once the rope was grasped by hundreds of hands, who, instead of holding it, as Mrs. Graham requested, pulled it, and thus dragged the balloon violently to the pavement. The netting of the machine got entangled with the coping of an old clothes house, and detached some fragments, which fell on two of the crowd. One named Wilson, a gentleman's servant, was severely hurt on the head, and conveyed in a state of great suffering to Middlesex Hospital. The other person was also seriously hurt, but lie was able to walk to the hospital. Their es are not in any danger. The balloon was roughly handled by the eager but not ill-intentioned populace ; and as it collapsed, it was trampled upon so much, and rent in so many places, that Mr. Graham calculates the damage at sot. Neither Captain Currie nor Mrs. Graham sustained the slightest injury. They joined a party to see the illumination in the evening. The descent took place at 20 minutes past 3 o'clock. EXTENSION OF HYDE-PARK FAIR The following notice was circulated to the booth proprietors this morning : PUBLIC NOTICE. The Fair will terminate at nine o'clock this evening. All persons having any booth, show, or fancy stall, or exhibition, are requested to govern themselves accordingly. All buildings erec!ed for the purpose of the Fair must be cleared off the ground by ten o'clock on the night of Monday, July 2. By order of the Commissioners of Police, F M MAL LILIEU, Superintendant. The Rushall Estate in Wilts, the property of Sir Edward Poore, Bart., including 3,100 acres, was sold by Mr. George Robins, last week, for 93,5001. William Cotton, Esq , is the Gentleman recom mended by the Court of Directors of the Bank of England, to fill up the vacancy in the Direction, occasioned by the decease of William Mellish, E3q. As Mr. Shanks, of Brandesburton, was excavating in his out-ground, he dug up a large-sized ring of sterling gold. The top part of it is square, with a beautiful representation of the Virgin Mary and the child Jesus in her arms ; on the round part of it are en. graven several words, with roses at a regular distance.—Hull Ad/yr. FRENCH SHIP-BUILDING.—For some past ship building has been carried on with great briskness and spirit at Bour deaux, not only for the commerce of that port, but commissioned for other parts of France, as well as foreign countries. In former times, says l'lndicateur, it required a year to build the shell of a vessel of 300 tons—now, forty or fitly days are deemed sufficient to build and rig a frigate of 500 or 600 tons. Formerly, our largest merchantmen were only 100 to 120 feet in length—now, the most part of them are from 130 to 150 feet ; and one of our builders is about to place on the blocks two steam-ships, 275 feet in length. Such is now the mode of con struction adopted by the English, and, right or wrong, we must follow it. In the dockyard of M. Corteau, there is now building a frigate for . the republic of Chili, two steamers, and another ship of large dimensions THE CORONATION o.X.—lt having been an nounce] in the early part of the. week by Mr. Morton, the proprietor of the Excise Dining-rooms, I3ishopsgate-street, that an ox would he Rayed to be roasted whole on Thursday at the above place, to commemorate the coronation of our young and virgin Queen, crowd of persons anxiously sought to obtain alinittance early, to witness the exhibition. Acoord ingly at eight a in. on Thursday the ox was suspended before an immense coke fire, in a grate of upwards of twenty feet in height and ten in breadth, to gradually grill, to the no small delight of thc spectators, upon which the band gave, in no ordinary style, " The Roast Beef of Old England." Crowds of persons continued to pour in during the day and night, about thirty-two hours being required to make the care. ss" roast beef." In the early part of yestel day two deer were put on either side, with several joints of meat, "to render the scene," as a spectator present observed, "more imposing;" and shortly after two, p.m., the ox, as roasted whole, was cut down, and his long length conveyed on a whel.led platform to the cutting_up room, where, in the space of three hours, with the help of steel and knife, it was completely disjointed_ Three thou sand five hundred persons, it i. estimated, have in the two days visited the rooms to " see the sight," at the charge of 6.1. each. Mr. Morton gave a similar exhibition on the day the Queen was entertained by the civic authorities at Guildhall, which drew a concourse at that time of . upwards of 5,000 persons. NAPLES, JUNE 18.—The King returned yesterday on board the Ferdinand 11, steam boat, from Sicily; the object of this surden voyage was to call his fleet together, which, to the number of seven sail, three frigates, two corvettes, ant two brigs, anchored at the same time in our road, as if to keep the five English sea -monsters company. I do not remember having seen so many nien-of-war together in our road for many years, and they afford a magnificent sight. Last night, and this whole fore noon, there was a dreadful storm with a heavy rain fo/ twelve hours without interruption, which has so cooled the air, that the sca.bathing which was to commence must be defcrrcd for eight or ten days.-411,; , - mane Zeitung.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Tavistock Hotel, June SO. SIR —We observe a paragraph in your paper of last evening. alleging as a fact that a sum of 701. was stolen on Saturday last from a gentleman's bed-room at our hotel. The facts are these :—The alleged theft was communicated t o us on Sa turday, and after occasioning us much annoyance, creating groundless suspicions against confidential servants of long standing, and so forth, the party's portmanteau was, on Wed nesday last, for the first time, accurately examined. The portmanteau was kept locked, and was examined in the v sence of the party himself, and the money found wrapped up in some linen. Strange to say, in two hours after finding the money, we received a lawyer's letter, threatening an action for recovery of the amount. From this misjudged promptitude we fear that the paragraph complained of has proceed' d from no friendly hand. We must beg you to give an immediate and unqualified contradiction of the paragraph. Yours obediently, HARRISONS and WARNER. GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK. (From the Gardeners' Gazette.) *.* Is there anything unreasonable in our request, that the Editors who copy us, should state their authority ? [Certainly not. We always feel great pleasure in doing so, for the information is very excellent.—ED. Sun.] AMERICAN PLANTS must be continually watered, until they have made their growth and set their bloom. CARNATIONS and PICCOTEES should have their bloom bud carefully tied about the middle as soon as they are nearly full grown, and the top half torn down, so as to free the petals all around alike. Take up TULIPS, and for the first few days let the boxes be open and the bulbs be shaded. They must be perfectly dried before being put away. Propagate HEARTSEASE as before. If you desire to keep the plants in bloom, take the long shoots only, leaving the young ones to bloom. If the plants are to be multiplied as much as possible, they may be taken up, washed, and every piece made into a plant, many being torn off with the roots attached. Carefully examine and constantly water such as require it of all Greenhouse Plants out of dcors ; Heaths, Epacris, and many other hard-wooded plants, will suffer from 24 hours neglect. Stick PEAS of the tall kinds ; tic up LETTUCES for blanch ing ; earth up Celery on dry days; plant out Cabbage of all kinds, Lettuce, &c., after wet ones. Dig up the beds from which Tulips are removed in the open, ground, and plant out Annuals, Dahlias, or Geraniums, to fill the places, if in the ornamental part of a garden ; if t.thcr' wise, it matters not what follows. It is the intention of the Ladies Patronesses of Al' mack's to invite the members of the Royal Family, the whole of the foreign Princes and foreign Ambassadors, and their respective suites to a grand ball, to be given on Wednesday next, in honour of her also jesty's coy - nation. The Countess Blessington entertained at dinner yesterday the Prince de Chalais, the Prince Kotcionbey, the Count A' Strogonoff, the Duke D'Ossuna, Lords Abinger and Strangford, &e. The Earl of Brownlow gave a superb entertainmen t on Wednesday last to the Marquis of Hertford, Earl and Countess ° I Falmouth, Marquis of Granby, Earl of Aberdeen, Marquis of bury, Lord and Lady Lyndhurst, Lord Mahon, Earl of Shaftesbury. qtr Sir Henry and Lady Emily Hardinge, Lord and Lady Ashburton, sir IL Peel, Mademoiselle d'Este, and Miss Hope Johnstone. Sir Robert and Lady Fitz Wigram were at the Duke of Wellington's ball on Thursday. The Queen has been pleased to grant to Sarah Charlotte Jekyll, of the city of Bath, wieow, relict of N. thaniel Jek1 11 ; of Pittumbe House, in the county of Somerset, Esq.. and daughter the late Robert Campbell, of Asknish and Lochgair House, in the sh ire of Argyle, Esq , Sheriff' of that county, her Royal license and permiqi oo that (in compliance with directions contained in certain deeds of 4" i % reent executed by the said Robert Campbell respecting the Asknish an" Lochgair estates) she may henceforth take and ti , e the surname of Carepbell only, and bear the arms of Campbell of Mc. Iver. , The Franconian Mercury state that a report current in Naples of an approaching marriage between Prince John °f Saxony and the King's sister, the Princess Carolina Feroanda, who 1 11 now eighteen years of age. A letter froln Triost, of the 17th inst. states, that reports of the hostile preparations of Mehemet Ali being persevered 115 gain ground, and are strengthened by accounts from Ancona, that the English fleet at Naples had suddenly sailed for Malta If these repor'l depend only on the sailing of the English fleet from Naples, the ar ci ' of Admiral Stopf,rd at Toulon will soon negative them. A letter from Cairo, of the 26th ult., states. ti ts the plague has broken cut at Jaffa and Jerusalem ; and that a few i' m " 1:1! ed cases from Syria have also cceurred in the Lazaretto of Alex n& ia• Mehemet Ali had gone to the bay of Aboukir in the Nile steamer. to superintend the operations of ser.rching for the cannons, &c., lost in 10' great naval engagement. The following, we believe we may say, will be in . c'ud' din the list of Baronets :—Sir John Herschel!, Sir Lionel Smith. Michael O'Loghlen, the Irish :.:aster of the Rolls, and Sir Augustus Clifford, Usher of the Black Rod. HIG LIG AT E.—This village on Thursdav wits livened with a scene of unusual gaiety and interest. Its residents, with a few meagre exceptions, had contributed an ample purse (in lieu of A" illumination) for a general festival to their poorer neighbours, and tab's, were spread atom; the line of the iligh.street, crowned at their extr eu'l , ties w.th triumphal arches, decorated with various appropriate devi ce ; and surmounted by British flags, waving a hearty welcome to upso u . 4 1 of 1,000 rm n, women, and children, and subsequently to the t hous o . , warm-hearted arils ef anxiously awaiting the London pal harvest, who enthusiastically joined their glad plaudits to the perva dtn d tone of British loyalty.
